— We show that the Fisher-Rao Riemannian metric is a natural, intrinsic tool for computing shape geodesics. When a parameterized probability density function is used to represent...
Abstract - Certain structure detection problems can be solved by sampling a parameter space for the different structures at a finite number of points and checking each point to see...
Shape matching plays a prominent role in the analysis of medical and biological structures. Recently, a unifying framework was introduced for shape matching that uses mixture-model...
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a well-known and important tool in pattern recognition with potential applications in many areas of research. The most famous and used formul...
In some applications objects are known to have nonsmooth or “jagged” edges, which are not well approximated by smooth curves. We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexib...
